The Evolution of Evolution [PDF]

, 1970
One of the most characteristic evolutionary or cosmogenetic processes is a gradual transition from one mode of development to another. The time has now come, speaking from a de Chardinesque point of view rather than merely reflecting and relying upon Teilhard’s views, to compare and contrast the dominant modes of growth and development in the different

The evolution of teaching evolution [PDF]

Science, 2016
Education Current research in evolution encompasses more than natural selection. However, evolutionary mechanisms other than natural selection are not always presented in classrooms. Price and Perez analyzed evolution education literature and high-school and college education standards to highlight the lack of concepts such as genetic drift, dominance ...

The Luminosity function and stellar evolution

, 1955
The evolutionary significance of the observed luminosity function for main-sequence stars in the solar neighborhood is discussed. The hypothesis is made that stars move off the main sequence after burning about 10 per cent of their hydrogen mass and that

Telomeres in evolution and evolution of telomeres

Chromosome Research, 2005
This paper examines telomeres from an evolutionary perspective. In the monocot plant order Asparagales two evolutionary switch-points in telomere sequence are known. The first occurred when the Arabidopsis-type telomere was replaced by a telomere based on a repeat motif more typical of vertebrates. The replacement is associated with telomerase activity,

Geologic Evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogen

, 2000
A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400 km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo-Asian collision at about 70 Ma.

A Metamodel for the Evolution of Evolution

07/20/2015-07/24/2015, 2015
The ability of evolution to influence its own course in microorganisms such as bacteria is a desirable property for computational systems. As a step towards exploiting this, we define a metamodel for the Evolution of Evolution. The metamodel is based on the concepts of structure and process, which are embodied together as the Machine.
